I'm not sure if the stock R34 plenum gasket is rubber or not. you need to get the metal one with rubber O rings in them. I found the rubber ones gets blown out under high boost.

Cometic plenum & manifold gasket are both steel :thumbsup:

Yup got a genuine turbo gasket set but not from JJR. Including the gasket from the turbo to dump pipe.

Parts to go on this weekend:

  • SS2 Turbo
  • Manifold from Stao which has been opening up a bit for better flow
  • ID 1000 Injectors
  • 3Inch JJR bellmouth dump pipe
  • Cometic plenum gasket (When I do the injectors)
  • Cometic manifold gasket
  • Genuine turbo gasket kit
  • New nuts and bolts

Power coming at ya.

Just bought water meth for my SS2 so maybe ill see you in mine....unless your going on e85 :(

No e85 here

My car is still my daily

Would like to be able to go on road trips without 6 jerry cans in the boot :P

Hence me using water meth.

Tank should last 1 tank of fuel on the track or 3 months on the street :)

On this note I have a nice little kit I would like to sell ;)

Come at me bro!

I looked long n hard and thought about hitting you up but unfortunately and no offence but it was my least preferred kit.

Each to their own, but thanks for helping my cause :P

I had planned it for a very high comp DE+T setup, but since then went about forging my DET instead.

So its fairly redundant to me now as my SS1PU will do what I want it to do without the WMI.

Hey Stao, do you have a comparison dyno graph of the G3 with original rear housing flange and the type B one I got from you?

Under ATR43 and there are dyno readings from both Type A and Type B rear housing from the G3.

Thanks. If I'm changing from type A to type B, do I need to get a new gasket of some sort for the new flange to go on? I just want to make sure I have all parts ready for the swap over.

I'll have a new dump pipe gasket & new dump pipe, so I mean between the turbo rear housing and the flange plate itself.

LOL thats a good idea. In practice I am told its like having E85 on tap - which helps those who don't have the stuff available.

For me my entire car hits a whole other level of money, time and effort at anything above 240kw. So instead of going for my ultra responsive 10:1 CR 240kw on WMI I have gone for an SS1PU with a DET motor instead. I think I will still get what I want with a little less off boost punch.

The WMI kit would make my setup even better Im sure, boosting power to 280odd shouldnt be an issue.. But the issue there is that SR gearboxes arent so 280kw friendly and neither is my near new clutch. So rather than reinvent the wheel I have worked so hard to create I am just going to enjoy my 240 kw and sell the unused WMI kit.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
